class core.prototypes.BasicApplication(moduleName, modulePath, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: object

BasicApplication is a generic class serving as the base for the four BasicApplications.

kindName :str

Name of the datastore kind that’s going to be handled by this application. This information is used to bind a specific viur.core.skeleton.Skeleton-class to this application. For more information, refer to the function _resolveSkelCls().

adminInfo :Union[Dict[str, Any], Callable]

A dict holding the information necessary for the Vi/Admin to handle this module. If set to None, this module will be ignored by the frontend. The currently supported values are:

name: str

Human-readable module name that will be shown in Vi/Admin

handler: str (list, tree or singleton):

Which (proto-)type is used, to the frontend can initialize it handler correctly.

icon: str

(Optional) The name (eg “icon-add”) or a path relative the the project (eg. /static/icons/viur.svg) for the icon used in the UI for that module.

columns: List[str]

(Optional) List of columns (bone names) that are displayed by default. Used only for the list handler.

filter: Dict[str, str]

(Optional) Dictionary of additional parameters that will be send along when fetching entities from the server. Can be used to filter the entities being displayed on the client-side.

display: str (“default”, “hidden” or “group”)

(Optional) “hidden” will hide the module in the main bar (itwill not be accessible directly, however it’s registered with the frontend so it can be used in a relational bone). “group” will show this module in the main bar, but it will not be clickable. Clicking it will just try to expand it (assuming there are additional views defined).

preview: Union[str, Dict[str, str]]

(Optional) A url that will be opened in a new tab and is expected to display the entity selected in the table. Can be “/{{module}}/view/{{key}}”, with {{module}} and {{key}} getting replaced as needed. If more than one preview-url is needed, supply a dictionary where the key is the URL and the value the description shown to the user.

views: List[Dict[str, Any]]

(Optional) List of nested adminInfo like dictionaries. Used to define additional views on the module. Useful f.e. for an order module, where you want separate list of “payed orders”, “unpayed orders”, “orders waiting for shipment”, etc. If such views are defined, the top-level entry in the menu bar will expand if clicked, revealing these additional filters.

actions: List[str]

(Optional) List of actions supported by this modules. Actions can be defined by the frontend (like “add”, “edit”, “delete” or “preview”); it can be an action defined by a plugin loaded by the frontend; or it can be a so called “server side action” (see “customActions” below)

customActions: Dict[str, dict]

(Optional) A mapping of names of server-defined actions that can be used in the actions list above to their definition dictionary. See …. for more details.

disabledActions: List[str, dict]

(Optional) A list of disabled actions. The frontend will inject default actions like add or edit even if they’re not listed in actions. Listing them here will prevent that. It’s up to the frontend to decide if that action won’t be visible at all or it’s button just being disabled.

sortIndex: int

(Optional) Defines the order in which the modules will appear in the main bar in ascrending order.

indexedBones: List[str]

(Optional) List of bones, for which an (composite?) index exists in this view. This allows the fronted to signal the user that a given list can be sorted or filtered by this bone. If no additional filters are enforced by the listFilter and filter is not set, this should be all bones which are marked as indexed.

changeInvalidates: List[str]

(Optional) A list of module-names which depend on the entities handled from this module. This allows the frontend to invalidate any caches in these depended modules if the data in this module changes. Example: This module may be a list-module handling the file_rootNode entities for the file module, so a edit/add/deletion action on this module should be reflected in the

rootNode-selector in the file-module itself. In this case, this property should be set to ["file"].

moduleGroup: str

(Optional) If set, should be a key of a moduleGroup defined in …. .

editViews: Dict[str, Any]

(Optional) If set, will embed another list-widget in the edit forms for a given entity. See …. for more details.

If this is a function, it must take no parameters and return the dictionary as shown above. This can be used to customize the appearance of the Vi/Admin to individual users.

accessRights :List[str]

If set, a list of access rights (like add, edit, delete) that this module may support. These will be prefixed on instance startup with the actual module name (becomming file-add, file-edit etc) and registered in viur.core.config.conf["viur.accessRights"] so these will be available on the access bone in user/add or user/edit.

_resolveSkelCls(self, *args, **kwargs) viur.core.skeleton.Skeleton

Retrieve the generally associated viur.core.skeleton.Skeleton that is used by the application.

This is either be defined by the member variable kindName or by a Skeleton named like the application class in lower-case order.

If this behavior is not wanted, it can be definitely overridden by defining module-specific viewSkel(), addSkel(), or editSkel() functions, or by overriding this function in general.

Returns

Returns a Skeleton class that matches the application.

class core.prototypes.List(moduleName, modulePath, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: viur.core.prototypes.BasicApplication

The list prototype will only handle a single kind and arrange it’s entities in a flat list. This list can be filtered and/or sorted but there is no hierarchy/relationship between the items in that list.

accessRights = ['add', 'edit', 'view', 'delete']
adminInfo(self)
viewSkel(self, *args, **kwargs) viur.core.skeleton.SkeletonInstance

Retrieve a new instance of a viur.core.skeleton.SkeletonInstance that is used by the application for viewing an existing entry from the list.

The default is a Skeleton instance returned by _resolveSkelCls().

This SkeletonInstance can be post-processed (just returning a subskel or manually removing single bones) - which is the recommended way to ensure a given user cannot see certain fields. A Jinja-Template may choose not to display certain bones, but if the json or xml render is attached (or the user can use the vi or admin render) he could still see all values. This also prevents the user from filtering by these bones, so no binary search is possible.

addSkel(), editSkel(), _resolveSkel()

Returns

Returns a Skeleton instance for viewing an entry.

addSkel(self, *args, **kwargs) viur.core.skeleton.SkeletonInstance

Retrieve a new instance of a viur.core.skeleton.Skeleton that is used by the application for adding an entry to the list.

The default is a Skeleton instance returned by _resolveSkel().

Like in viewSkel(), the skeleton can be post-processed. Bones that are being removed aren’t visible and cannot be set, but it’s also possible to just set a bone to readOnly (revealing it’s value to the user, but preventing any modification. It’s possible to pre-set values on that skeleton (and if that bone is readOnly, enforcing these values).

The default is a Skeleton instance returned by _resolveSkel().

Like in viewSkel(), the skeleton can be post-processed. Bones that are being removed aren’t visible and cannot be set, but it’s also possible to just set a bone to readOnly (revealing it’s value to the user, but preventing any modification.

  • key (str) – URL-safe key of the item to be deleted.

Returns

The rendered, deleted object of the entry.

Raises

server.errors.NotFound, when no entry with the given key was found.

Raises

server.errors.Unauthorized, if the current user does not have the required permissions.

Raises

server.errors.PreconditionFailed, if the skey could not be verified.

deleteRecursive(self, nodeKey)

Recursively processes a delete request.

This will delete all entries which are children of nodeKey, except key nodeKey.

Parameters

key (str) – URL-safe key of the node which children should be deleted.

move(self, skelType: str, key: str, parentNode: str, *args, **kwargs) str

Move a node (including its contents) or a leaf to another node.

canMove()

Parameters
  • skelType – Defines the type of the entry that should be moved and may either be “node” or “leaf”.

  • key – URL-safe key of the item to be moved.

  • parentNode – URL-safe key of the destination node, which must be a node.

Returns

The rendered, edited object of the entry.

Raises

viur.core.errors.NotFound, when no entry with the given key was found.

Raises

viur.core.errors.Unauthorized, if the current user does not have the required permissions.

Raises

viur.core.errors.PreconditionFailed, if the skey could not be verified.

listFilter(self, filter)

Access control function on item listing.

This function is invoked by the list() renderer and the related Jinja2 fetching function, and is used to modify the provided filter parameter to match only items that the current user is allowed to see.

Parameters

filter (server.db.Query) – Query which should be altered.

Returns

The altered filter, or None if access is not granted.

canView(self, skelType: str, skel: viur.core.skeleton.Skeleton) bool

Checks if the current user can view the given entry. Should be identical to what’s allowed by listFilter. By default, meth:listFilter is used to determine what’s allowed and whats not; but this method can be overridden for performance improvements (to eliminate that additional database access). :param skel: The entry we check for :return: True if the current session is authorized to view that entry, False otherwise

canAdd(self, skelType: str, parentNodeSkel: Optional[viur.core.skeleton.SkeletonInstance])

Access control function for adding permission.

Checks if the current user has the permission to add a new entry.

The default behavior is: - If no user is logged in, adding is generally refused. - If the user has “root” access, adding is generally allowed. - If the user has the modules “add” permission (module-add) enabled, adding is allowed.

It should be overridden for a module-specific behavior.

add()

Returns

True, if adding entries is allowed, False otherwise.

Return type

bool

canEdit(self, skelType: str, skel)

Access control function for modification permission.

Checks if the current user has the permission to edit an entry.

The default behavior is: - If no user is logged in, editing is generally refused. - If the user has “root” access, editing is generally allowed. - If the user has the modules “edit” permission (module-edit) enabled, editing is allowed.

It should be overridden for a module-specific behavior.

Parameters

skel (server.skeleton.Skeleton) – The Skeleton that should be edited.

Returns

True, if editing entries is allowed, False otherwise.

Return type

canDelete(self, skelType: str, skel)

Access control function for delete permission.

Checks if the current user has the permission to delete an entry.

The default behavior is: - If no user is logged in, deleting is generally refused. - If the user has “root” access, deleting is generally allowed. - If the user has the modules “deleting” permission (module-delete) enabled, deleting is allowed.

It should be overridden for a module-specific behavior.

Returns

True, if deleting entries is allowed, False otherwise.

Return type

bool

canMove(self, skelType: str, node: str, destNode: str) bool

Access control function for moving permission.

Checks if the current user has the permission to move an entry.

The default behavior is: - If no user is logged in, deleting is generally refused. - If the user has “root” access, deleting is generally allowed. - If the user has the modules “edit” permission (module-edit) enabled, moving is allowed.

It should be overridden for a module-specific behavior.

Parameters
  • skelType – Defines the type of the node that shall be deleted.
